This sounds like a great idea! My angelfood cakes always stick the pan like crazy though. I need to get one of those two piece pans.

Jean Pare shows the cake in her cookbook with beautiful lacy praline candy shapes on top of the whipped cream on each piece. It looks like just a butterscotch or caramel or praline candy recipe (like Werther's hard candies) that have been piped into different thin shapes and then left to dry before being used. It is just beautiful!
